Home from home - this charming house, which puts you in a state of relax the moment that you step through the door. Was an art gallery - very open plan and spacious. Magnificent views of the Fataga Valley, a roof terrace with 360 degree views.

A great opportunity to live in a home away from home and experience the way that the locals live. Cosy restaurants in the village with good home cooking.
We have provided many home comforts to make your stay as cosy as possible
We speak English, Spanish, Danish, Scandinavian, German and will be available by mobile telephone. We also have a house manager we can be contacted he is English.

The drive up from Maspalomas is one of the most breathtaking rides imaginable. It takes only 25 minutes from the beach to the quiet of the mountains away from the hussle bussle of the tourists.
The number 18 bus passes through the village and can take you to El Faro beach or bus station were access to the rest of the island is possible. Not a very frequent service but it is possible to get down and back before night-fall.
This is a great opportunity to live quietly in the mountains whilst having the chance to visit the south and the beautiful beaches and explore more that the island has to offer.

The house is Fataga is wonderful and very well equipped - and in fact bigger than the photos suggest. There are 2 outdoor areas - a sunny balcony which is great for al fresco dining, and a roof terrace where you can stargaze at night. Like all the other reviewers suggested, we parked at the church and walked through charming white-fronted houses to the house, it is only a couple of minutes away. If you are hiring a car, I would advise against a wid(URL HIDDEN)it's the first time we hired one but the roads are more suited to something narrower! Colin was an excellent host and has even kindly promised to courier my house keys back to England for me when I left them behind. After a wonderful week obviously I didn't want to leave...

Wonderful property in the mountains of the island, the house is just like on the pictures. The view from the balcony and roof terrace is breathtaking. Would definitely go back! Karen was away so Colin let us in and explained all the details, kind and helpful.

YaseminNovember 2015

Karen's place is one of the most tranquil places I have ever stayed at. We felt instantly at home and despite the storm on the 2nd day we were happy to sit around the house reading and taking in the breath taking views. It was very well equipped and had the feeling of a proper home, not just a holiday let. I should mention that Colin the house manager was charming and helpful. We would definitely return for a longer period.

Giles February 2014

A fantastic house in a beautiful location. We'd love to come back and explore more of Gran Canaria. Loved having so much space to relax in, and the peace and quiet of Fataga. Amazing views from the roof terrace too! :)

LisaNovember 2015

The house was magnificent and situated in beautiful surroundings in the lovely village Fataga. We felt comfortable and really liked our stay there. In February it was quite windy so we couldn't spend much time on the terraces. Indoors it was a little chilly so warm socks were needed. We also recommend to rent a car so you easily can move arround in the neighbourhood e.g. to Santa Lucia and San Bartolomé. Colin was very helpful and kind. We warmly recommend this house for your holiday especially if you are interesed in interiour design and slow life.

LottaMarch 2015

Fataga is a lovely little town in the Mountains! It was really kind of Colin to show us the house and we felt very welome! The view is amazing and the interior was very comfortable and cosy! Communication with Karen was super easy and kind, I would come back to the rural house anytime, we enjoyed it so much!

JosephNovember 2015

We had a great time in Fataga. The house is very well located. From the roof terrace you have a breathtaking view over the wonderful canyons of Gran Canaria. The house is very special and peaceful - filled with creative art things and very well equipped. You will have all you need and more. From the second terrace we could watch the birds, coming very close. And at night you can watch the stars. We definitely falled in love with this place and can highly reccomend it for all people who do not want to stay in the crowded tourist centers. To the beach of Maspalomas you need 25-30 minutes. To drive there is an adventure by itself, but very worth. Fataga is a good starting point to discover the mountain world of Gran Canaria. We made a lot of trips and could not get enough from this wonderful area.Thank you Karen for offering your home. We loved to stay there. It should have been longer.

TineMarch 2014

We arrived at Fataga very late in the evening but Colin was waiting for us at the restaurant "El Labrador" (by the way: very good and cheep food!). The parking place is about 200m away from the house. Parking at the house is not possible due to the narrow streets. The house was very nice and evering you need is there. It is very quiet here and the interior is very attractive. Unfortunately, we had bad weather during our stay - it was raining most of the time. I guess this is uncommon. After a rainy night there was some water in the bedroom (coming from the walls). Apart from that evering was fine!

Wonderful view in the valley and to the mountains around. Enjoy the area and the quiet location.
Non-smoker Guesthouse! Pets allowed.
We are available for our guests by cellphone.

It's a wonderful nice area - we love it :-)
Bus
Minimarket, Restaurants, cashmachine, fuelstation, busstation (to go to the beach and the lighthouse or to San Mateo Market...)

The host canceled this reservation 60 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We just loved Casa Roca, Case Roca is a lovely apartment on the edge of Fataga yet less than a minutes walk to the centre where there are a couple of great bars with restaurants. The view from Casa Roca's terrace is stunning and there is a great private courtyard for romantic evening dinners. Michael and Sabine are great hosts, available if you need them but you would never know they live next door. The place is so quiet and tranquil.

Staying a Casa Roca was a great experience which I recommend for those looking for a quite and relaxing place, a beautiful mountain surrounding, yet only 20 minutes from the beach. Fataga is the cutest village, and the view from our room was stunning. Finally, our hosts were nice and welcoming: we will never forget the surprise they gave us to celebrate our first night of our honeymoon at Casa Roca: thank you Sabine and Michael!

Five years later to find my dream home in the most beautiful of Gran Canaria, I'll tell you why:
In the south of the island with 365 days of good weather.
My house is removed from the noise but near the tourist center of the island.
The small village

En route from San Bartolomé de Tirajana to Fataga is a small town just 7km south of the villa de San Bartolomé de Tirajana, en route to the popular resorts within the same municipal. With much of the centre of Gran Canaria undisturbed by tourism the churches offer an important window into life through the ages. The Iglesia de San José church built in 1880 by the villagers is the central focal of the community. Being perched on top of cliff within the ‘Valley of a Thousand Palms’, the views from Fataga are awe-inspiring. A quick visit to this tiny location will fill you with more than its fair share of memories. If you are curious about how life in this island was like prior to the Spanish conquest, head to ‘Aborigine World’ (see Museum section) and find yourself amongst one hundred life-size figures of the aborigines.
My homestay is a really good choice in Fataga. Once you complete your booking you'll get a mail with my complete address. Don't worry you won't have any problems finding me.

30 min: Playa del Inglés

five years later to find my dream home in the most beautiful of Gran Canaria, I'll tell you why:
In the south of the island with 365 days of good weather.
My house is removed from the noise but near the tourist center of the island.
The small village of Fataga is located in the so-called Valley of Thousand Palms, a scenic spot of high cliffs, palms and fruit trees 20 minutes north of Maspalomas and 30 minutes from Playa del Inglés.
The cottage is in the village but no neighbors, not a townhouse.
You can walk to the restaurants and bars that invite you to sit back and enjoy the pleasures of life in a beautiful and peaceful setting.
Seven minutes you can live the experience of riding a camel in the middle of beautiful landscapes.
The village has traditional Canarian buildings in which the combination of land, white paint, shingles and thoughtful landscaping let forget about the city and almost moved to another time when life was lived without haste.
From a typical Canarian house with a beautiful decoration full of details you can hear the birds.
The house is clear and bright, is quiet and has areas for sunbathing.
The garden has orange trees, lemons, avocados, persimmons, apricots, olives, apples, bananas, grapes and pomegranates, is a privilege to prepare a fruit juice of your own home.
I'm a journalist, I write, design publications related to the environment, I travel frequently and I like to share my things with another souls; you to live moments of happiness and tranquility of this space to vibrate with nature.

Located about 20 minutes by car in the north of Maspalomas Fataga is really worth the trip. A calm and cozy village in the middle of a green Valley. But Marcela and the apartment definitely put the cherry on top. The best host you can imagine that does not hesitate to go the extra mile making you're stay a special one! The apartment looks at least as good as on the photos and the private room is spacious enough for two people. If you want to have some relaxing time to recharge your batteries you have to consider booking your stay at this apartment!

ArwedApril 2016

It is one truly charming cottage in enchanted village with fabulous hostess Marcela! We felt like coming home and entering into a fairytale at the same time - lovely garden and a nice terrace with a hammock to lie around and enjoy mountains, cozy and clean rooms. We felt welcome and treasured. Our dearest hostess offered us healthy and versatile breakfast, all is well-advised and thoughtful. All our wishes came true! Marcela is the warmest hostess and somehow she was always present when we needed advice, she gave us good and professional tips for sightseeings. We recommend Marcela's cottage to you, dear friend! We will be back, hopefully many times to enter this peaceful scenery and participate in a fascinating fairytale! Keili & Maire

KeiliFebruary 2016

We stayed at Marcela's place for a week. A beautiful and cosy house what is magical to wake up in. Marcela herself is even more beautiful than her house. So sweet, warm and openminded person. The place Fataga is amazing! Rising sun out of the mountains, the sound of birds and Marcela's best coffee in the morning was all we need to experience serenity to the fullest. I will come back sweetie, for sure!

Unfortunately we were not able to meet the owners because we arrived later than foreseen, but the house is lovely, beautifully furnished, in a very quiet environment with beautiful palm trees. For groceries, Santa Lucia is just a small distance from the house (you will need a car). Strongly recommended for people that want to stay away from the busy tourist resorts in the south!

PhilipJanuary 2016

After the booking we had contact by e-mail and we received a description of the route from the airport to the house and telephonenumbers, also for out-of-office hours. We did not have further contact, everything was in good order when we arrived. There was fruit and a bottle of wine on the table, cushions on the sunbeds and chair outside. We felt welcome. The house is authentic and the photo's on the site give a good impression. In the house was everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable. The surrounding area beautiful, very quiet, but near Santa Lucia with restaurants. Good for walking and a good starting point to discover the island. Regards, Cees and Marijke

Villa in one of the most beautiful villages of the island, Fataga, located in the south of the island, the house belongs to an eco farm and retreat center where health and tranquility along with excellent facilities makes it the best place to relax

We had a wonderful stay at Sella's eco-villa. The place is amazing, beautiful garden and beautiful view over the mountains. We stayed in the "giving room", it was very confortable. We really felt like home. Sella is such a nice and sunny person, always smiling and helping her guests. She hosted yoga teachers during our stay and they offer us to join the yoga classes. Early morning yoga classes in the nature, it was the cherry on the cake! We absolutely recommend it! We would like to come back again in the future.

EstelleDecember 2015

It was a nice place to relax and the Hotel Personal is amazing. The contact to the local people is great. Its a great place to stay there and learn a view things about canarian islands.

TobiasNovember 2016

This was a great experience if you wanna avoid the tourist industry of Gran Canaria. The farm is situatued just outside the village Fagata, with a path leading you into it in about 10-15 minutes. So you get the isolated country side feel, but still have close to a bar, restaurant, bakery and a mini-market. I rented a car, which almost is a must if you wanna stay mobile, and I drove up the mountains to different points to start walking the numerous trails spread all over the island. You can walk everywhere really, from village to village, as long as you have the time and water in your backpack. Sella is a great host. Relaxed but helpful if you need it (for example if you drive your drive down a ditch, she will get it out for you, as I did...). Also, she was hospitable and showed me Canarian stuff but also gave me privacy and room for my own holiday experience. The place is big and there's always somewhere to hide away, if you need it. The place is an organic paradise really, it got lemon trees and orange trees (I picked one every morning for breakfast) and it's inspiring to see how she's growing her on way of life out there in this perfect climate of the Canary Islands. Just go there.

JoakimJanuary 2016

The Eco-villa Ecotara is really a small paradise and the perfect place to relax in the nature and meet nice and hospitable people. Totally recommended!

FrancescoMarch 2016

This place is a great place to chill out in a beautifull location. Sella is a very welcoming and kind host. Good possibilities for walks directly from the house and short drive to stunning walks in the higher part of the island.

Beautiful place to be, you need a car to reach it and to appreciate the nature around. Shops close by are expensive as s they probably making up prices when you walk in, so better get yours supplies before getting there. Roads are new but narrow and twisty. Very quiet place, you will hear bees miles away, very relaxing.

Salvador was very helpful. He welcomed us at our arrival and asked us a few times if we were satisfied during the stay. The house is nice, but you should know that it's further than the map suggests: it's a 40 minutes car ride to the highway. But if you want to have a nice rural place to be your base for investigating Gran Canaria, you won't miss with Salvador's place!

Requests of stay less than 4 nights, we confirm availability 7 days before.

We looked for a place a long way from tourism but still with a touch of luxury. And we found it! Not luxury in the way of high class - but the most beautiful and esthetic place you can imagine. La Labranza is a piece of history we did not knew excited at Gran Canaria and Santa Lucia and Suerreda are locations where you disconnect completely and enjoy life. We are very pleased that we have met Diego and lived in his fantastic house and we loved to hear him tell the stories about the renovation of the 150 years old house and the more than beautiful surroundings. We can recommend all to have a stay at La Labranza and feel history in combination with relaxation and pleasure.

CamillaMarch 2016

My girlfriend and I were looking for some relaxing winter-sun holidays in January 2014, and booked Diego's "casa rural" for 2 weeks. We have no been disappointed, even better it went above all our expectations! The house is wonderful: very charming both from the outside and the inside, the garden with the swimming pool is amazing, and the area is quiet and beautiful. Diego is a really great host, very helpful and passionated by what he is doing. That's inspiring. Here are a couple of recommendations: in Santa Lucia make sure to have lunch and dinner at Casa Antonio (try the sangria, the "queso frito", and "las papas"), small grocery shopping at Mama Conchita, bigger groceries in Vecindario at the Carrefour, go for a hike at the Roque Nublo, go eat in Arguinegin at the "Cofradía de Pescadores" restaurant, and our favorite beach was Playa del Ingles. We rented a car for these 2 weeks, and I believe it would be quite inconvenient to do without. And it is quite cool to drive in such a landscape! Also we had great weather in January, about 20-25°C every day, but a bit chilly in the evening.

BertrandFebruary 2014

Very enjoyable stay at La Brabanza. Great location for walking and exploring the mountains and a well equipped beautiful rural property. Friendly and responsive host/owner. One tip would be to stock up on supplies at a Supermarket near the airport as the village shops have limited ranges.

Heather +++ TimFebruary 2016

Great location in a rural area. Diego is a very friendly host and expected us with keys and instructions. We and our 3 kids felt very comfortable and enjoyed the tranquility of the hamlet, the pool, neighbours cats and tiny dog and the walks in the area. We absolutely can recommend Diego and the house.

simonNovember 2014

We had a great week at Diegos lovely place. We stayed in the La Labranza, the house with the secluded patio, and a nice dutch couple had the other house at the pool. We loved the birds singing day long, the blooming of the almond trees, the stars and total silence in the night and the extraordinary views of the area around and coming up to Ingenio from the coast. We recommend the fantastic tour in the mountains over Roque Nublo to Las Palmas, with good places along the route to eat at lunch. Or a visit to La Fortaleza nearby, eat at Viejo Rincón (on the road to Fortaleza, they have the best tapas, best local food and the owner Felix is very cheerful), nearby cities Santa Lucia and San Bartholomé are a must, and if you have a cold overcast day as we did in february (only 14°C during the day) go to Maspalomas beach where you will be sure to have sun and 21°C. There you can also have an afternoon stroll along the good paseo (after the light tower El Faro) with good restaurants and shops. Diegos place have heaters for all rooms and lots of blankets (the nights are cold in february), good beds, good facilities, and supplied with guides for the local area. We just came for the sun, but found a paradise.

La Labranza is fantastic and charming place located in the mountains near Santa Lucia. It is great spot for trips to the center of island. House is very special, magical. First of all it is large with all amenities you need. It has lots of hidden gems inside. Kids were running around happily and we could relax in quiet. Diego is fantastic host, always helpful.

Its perfectly located to explore the island. Early morning yoga was great as well. There were 2 well equipped kitchens (one outside with stunning views) to cook you own food, and it was a short scenic walk to the charming village of Fataga where there are some great places to eat and drink. Sella was such a warm and welcoming host and went out of her way to help us with any query. We felt completely at ease with our 7-month old son.

5 of us stayed in the house early July and had a fantastic stay! The place is beautiful with an incredible view through the valley from the pool, good kitchen, comfy beds and huge air-bed-like lilos for relaxing in the water. The drive was 40-ish mins from the airport and a bit bumpy and rocky at the end, which was worth it for that view and a feeling of remoteness. It's worth noting the sun leaves the patio around 6pm and there was a water shortage during our stay - but Octavio was very responsive and fixed it quickly. He also gave us a lift to the airport on the last day - we couldn't have asked for a nicer host! I'd highly recommend staying here if you want to get away from it all, it was perfect for us.

Octavio was very accommodating and a great host. The property was very clean and well equipped. It was worth revisiting.

OmarDecember 2015

Octavio was unable to meet us himself at the property but Candido was there to greet us and show us round the property. He made us feel very welcome. The villa is very special with lots of character. It had everything we needed for our stay and was very clean and comfortable. The swimming pool was much appreciated on hot days! And I can recommend sausages cooked on the wood burning barbecue. The villa is in a beautiful rural location with lovely views down the barranco and up to the mountains. It's relative isolation was exactly what we wanted but you need to be aware that the road to it is narrow, windy and a little rough in places. We loved the nearby pretty town of Santa Lucia where there are cafe bars, restaurants and several small shops including grocery and bakery shops. Access into the central mountains was easy (once you got onto the main road!) and we enjoyed great walks up to and around Roque Nublo and the Pico de Nieves.

We were a couple of seven people and a baby and stayed for two weeks in the Big old House, only the house has an old optic but the interior is very modern. When we arrived everything was already prepared and the whole house was very clean. The Equipment such as. Kitchen appliances, had a good quality. You can see the house is made with love and it shows that Octavio takes care much about the house and it beautifies more and more. It left nothing to be desired and we felt like home. At best this is the location, at breakfast you can see directly into the beautiful vegetated valley. The private atmosphere is absolutely unique. Octavio is an exemplary host and has always taken care of us. Also for our 10 months old baby an extra bed and even a baby seat was available. Holiday has never been so nice and relaxing, we thank Octavio for this nice experience and will definitely come back.

BenjaminMay 2016

For a week, we stayed four people in Octavios (Old Big) house. The place matched the pictures. The house is placed in a deserted (a car is needed) and quiet area near lovely Santa Lucia. The view from the house is great. There is sun on the terrasse most of the day. In the evening (at least in december/january) it can get a bit chilly as it is app. 650 meter above sea level. The house was lovely and clean. Octavio made ud feel very welcome and was easy to communicate with and very helpful. Highly recommened!

Esther’s apartment was perfect. Everything like described and wonderfully located in the middle of beautiful nature. A couple of hiking tracks run directly in front of the house. Santa Lucia, a small, lovely village is nearby. Esther recommended having dinner at “Antonios” which was a very good restaurant run by a passionate owner. The apartment was very clean and well equipped. If you are interested in rock climbing the location is perfect as well. La Sorrueda, a very good spot is within walking distance. Communication with Esther was very good. We will come back next time we will be on the island!

The house is exactly as it is described but we would have whished for a newer set of pots to cook in. But overall it is a super place and we can absolutely recommend it to those who enjoys more than the beachlife.

Everything was good and nice. The place was a little hard to find at the arrival, but it is a beautiful and remote area! I would come again.

We had a marvelous time in Santa Lucia! The house is spacious, the covered patio very cosy and everything was really clean. We had some very hot days, so we spent most of our time in the refreshing pool. The surroundings and the silence are just incredible. Especially along the GC-65 the scenery is smashing. Santa Lucia itself is a nice little village. We enjoyed having coffees at the El Guata café. The three supermarkets are small, so if you need special things, it's wise to bring them with you. Thank you Esther, we would like to come again.
